Cleveland and Florida, 1830 to 1913. Henry Flagler went broke in salt at Saginaw, spent nine years paying back what he owed, and arrived at a kerosene refinery on Kingsbury Run as the one man in the building who knew how to write a contract. He drew the papers that built Standard Oil, and the papers that built the South Improvement Company, a corporation that never moved a barrel and detonated anyway. Then, at fifty-five, he left the largest company in America to lay track down a coast that had no towns on it, and spent the rest of his life and most of his fortune building the places the track would run to. The question is what the second man actually does. Covers Henry Flagler, John D. Rockefeller, Standard Oil, South Improvement Company, Flagler and York Salt Company, and Florida East Coast Railway.
